Abstract (en)

[origin: US4909526A] There is disclosed a pedal powered structure in which a frame carrying a seat and an axle with a pivotally mounted pedal on each side thereof is modified to include a pedal axle extension beyond the pedal at its inner and outer ends to provide inner and outer extensions, said pedal axle rotating on a bearing mounted within a crank assembly. Ligatures, one for each pedal axle extension, are connected at one end to one of the pedal axle extensions, at the other end to an element mounted behind and below the seat. The parallel ligatures spaced apart by approximately the width of the pedal, and straps are secured between each pair of parallel ligatures intermediate its length to rest upon the thigh of the rider above the knee when the rider is using the pedal powered structure.
